The iconic ballroom at The St. Regis Rome

Sparkling Occasions

Butler Stories by Maya Beus for St. Regis

“The Sala Ritz breathes glamour even when it’s absolutely empty and quiet. It’s like a dazzling temple to dancing and parties. You look at the stunning paintings, the gilded ceiling and the marble floor and then you think of that floor being polished daily for over 120 years, by the careful hands of staff, and the expensively slippered feet of the world’s nobility, all having a ball. It’s mind-blowing.”

From today...

..to about 100 years ago

The one and only Ritz Ballroom has in the years seen many amazing balls, celebrations, fashion shows, state visits, private events, charity galas,… and countless other celebrations that showed the diversity of its splendor.

With its original frescos, marble walls and Murano chandeliers, it is the perfect place for an impressive night.
